Live market price forward curves

Live forward curves are essential for competitive price quotations of contracts as well as intra-day assets valuations to define for example the optimal dispatch of a power plant.

Methodology

KyLiveCurve applies an advanced statistical methodology to re-calculate price forward curves based on end-of-day curves and live trade and order information. The user can define for which contracts live market data should be used and which selection criteria to apply. In this way a live price forward curve can for example be built based on the mid-point of bid and offer, based on bid only or based on last trade done.
